The name of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson could be removed from a high school in his hometown of Detroit now that a state-appointed emergency manager no longer oversees the city’s Board of Education, according to reports.
The board voted 6-1 Tuesday to begin soliciting public opinion on whether the name of the Benjamin Carson High School of Science and Medicine – as well as some other schools in the district – should be changed.
Other schools that could see a name change include the Harms Elementary School, Frederick Douglass Academy for Young Men and Detroit School of the Arts, the Free Press reported.
Yeah let's remove the name of a really decent man. A black man who through education pulled himself up from poverty. A man that became a famous life saving pediatric neurosurgeon. Because Detroit schools are doing such a wonderful job educating kids and don't need role models. Let's spend thousand's of dollars because Detroit has money to burn and because Ben Carson is an evil person. :roll:
I met him a couple of times LONG before I knew his politics. He is an extremely nice an impressive man.Well, he IS Republican, so he is probably a racist.

Good to see the Detroit School Board focusing on the important issues.
What a moronic suggestion but I am not surprisedI agree. The School board should be erecting confederate monuments instead. Ben Carson would really like that.
